BrotherBob,
I wouldn't look for guitar virtuosity from the Heartless Bastards. In fact, none of them are particulary noteworthy instumentalists (as far as I can tell), but all together they make some pretty interesting and unique music.

Peter I do like diversity and although I am a huge fan of really good guitar tunes I certainly try not to limit my music to that venue ... would that even be considered a 'venue'? I'll give the Heartless Bastards a try.
Los Lobos' new CD 'The Town And The City' is getting airplay on the Axioms at the moment and I must say it is probably the best CD they've had out in quite a while ... although I did like the 'Good Morning Aztlan' CD.
'The Road To Gila Bend' and 'The City' are two of my favs on the new 'Town And The City' CD.

The new Mark Knopfler/Emmylou Harris disc. As usual, his stuff is very well-recorded and shines over the M80s.

I have the library on full random (which fits my mindset very well, thank you very much). I'm currently enjoying Michelle Pfeiffer's version of "Makin' Whoopee" from the Fabulous Baker Boys soundtrack. I remain pleasantly surprised by her vocal prowess, and disappointed that the disk does not include "More than you know" which I thought was the highlight of the film.
Okay, now it's Ben Webster. Liquid.

The new "digital mashup" album, Ray Sings, Basie Swings. I heard about it on NPR ( story here) last week. The album features Ray Charles singing original songs and covers with a band he never actually recorded with. Isn't modern technology great?

Right now I'm singing the "A B C D ....now I know my ABC's..." song with my 2yr old and acting like I know how to play the ukulele.

Ah; speaking of Chet Atkins, like I did last evening. One night last week I was playing along with my Grand daughter on the guitar while She was practicing that very song for Kindergarten.
It's a family tradition, I played it with all our kids and Grandkids starting when the first one started school in '75.
Chet was my idol in the 50s and 60s.
